About

Who publishes this, and how it is built

This site is operated by a company that sells and services hyperbaric chambers. That is the first thing you should know about it, so it is the first thing on this page.

Who we are

Compare Hyperbaric is published by Hyperbaric Service Pros, the trading name of Mr. Fix All Handyman LLC, based in Tarpon Springs, Florida. We install and service hyperbaric chambers from every major manufacturer, and we also sell equipment. We have a commercial interest in some of the equipment described on this site, including chambers made by Prestige Hyperbaric and Wellness LLC, which is a separate company and operates the storefront at prestigehyperbaric.com.

This site is not an independent review publication and we do not describe it as one. It is a vendor-operated reference that is useful to the extent it is accurate, and it is worth reading because we are willing to publish the specifications that do not flatter the equipment we sell.

Contact

Phone 813-519-3232 · email hello@comparehyperbaric.com · Tarpon Springs, Florida. Equipment enquiries can go to leads@comparehyperbaric.com. There is no contact form on this site: a form that silently fails is worse than an email address that works.

The editorial standard, stated concretely

  1. Every specification is transcribed from a manufacturer or primary source, and that source is linked in the row. Not from a dealer listing, not from a marketplace product page, not from another comparison site.
  2. Anything a manufacturer does not publish reads “Not published”. We do not estimate, average, interpolate or convert on a manufacturer's behalf. In the comparison table, 15 of 29 models have no published price and 15 have no published weight. Those gaps stay visible, because a buyer needs to know which manufacturers document their equipment.
  3. Where two figures on the same manufacturer page conflict, we show both and say so. Three rows in the comparison table carry that flag.
  4. Competitor equipment is covered on its real specifications, and sometimes it wins. Two of our four head-to-head pages conclude that the competitor is the better buy. On the Model 3600H / 3600HR page we state plainly that for a clinical installation the comparison is not close, and the chamber we do not sell is the documented option.
  5. No fabricated anything. No reviews, no ratings, no star scores, no testimonials, no award badges, no customer counts, no invented statistics. There is no score column anywhere on this site, because a score is an opinion wearing a number's clothes.
  6. No medical claims. Any statement about hyperbaric exposure carries a linked citation to a primary source, or it is not here. The evidence table is arranged around what each publication actually reported, and it carries an explicit list of what the evidence does not establish.
  7. Prices are the manufacturer's published figures with a date, not quotes. Where no price is published we do not invent a band.
  8. All content is in the served HTML. Filtering, sorting and the calculator are JavaScript conveniences layered on markup that is already complete. Turn JavaScript off and every specification, citation and checklist item is still there.

Where a competitor is the better answer

Some concrete examples from this site, so the claim is checkable rather than decorative:

  • For a clinical or commercial installation, Sechrist publishes relief-valve settings, emergency vent rate, purge rate, occupant weight rating and an operating envelope. We do not sell Sechrist and it is still the documented choice at 3.0 ATA.
  • For a buyer who wants documented FDA clearance status in a fabric chamber around $10,000, the Summit to Sea Dive is named in 510(k) K072757 and is cheaper at published prices than the Prestige alternative.
  • For wheelchair access on a budget under $25,000, the Summit to Sea Grand Dive Pro Plus often wins on interior volume against the chamber we sell.
  • For a very broad-shouldered or bariatric occupant, the Sechrist 4100H at 41.00 in internal diameter has no consumer-market equivalent in our table.

Regulatory language we are careful about

Hyperbaric chambers are Class II devices, product code CBF, cleared through the FDA 510(k) process — a finding of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. They are not PMA-approved, so “FDA approved” is the wrong phrase and we do not use it. FDA Product Classification — chamber, hyperbaric (CBF) · FDA 510(k) database, product code CBF (openFDA). FDA has stated that hyperbaric oxygen chambers are prescription devices, and in FDA's UDI database no listing under this product code is flagged over-the-counter. The fabric chambers we examined are cleared for acute mountain sickness under prescription, and FDA states it has not cleared those bags for use with oxygen tanks or oxygen concentrators.

What this site deliberately does not cover

This site answers “which chamber, and how do these differ”. It does not explain what hyperbaric oxygen therapy is, argue hard shell versus soft shell as a philosophy, or walk through electrical, ventilation, freight and site-readiness work. Those belong on Hyperbaric Buyers Guide, which is the other site we publish and which is written as long-form guidance. Two sites publishing the same pages would help nobody and we are not doing it.

There is no blog here and there will not be one, and Spec Watch is not one. Spec Watch exists for a single narrow purpose: when a manufacturer or a regulator changes what it publishes, the change gets a dated notice with the source and the date that source was read, so a corrected cell in the table has a paper trail instead of appearing silently. It has no schedule, no opinion pieces and no articles written to fill a slot. If nothing verifiable happens for six months, nothing is published for six months.

The tables are built to be correct on the day they are read and re-verified when specifications change, and the date they were read is on every page.

Corrections

If a specification on this site does not match what the manufacturer publishes, tell us and we will fix it and note the change. Email hello@comparehyperbaric.com with the model, the field and the source. Manufacturer-published specifications change without notice, which is exactly why every row here links to the page it came from.
